I've been working on these for the past week, on and off. Finally got done with them today (well, tonight.. at 12AM).

The above dogs are smooth collies, but they can be changed to rough collies, border collies, or another herding breed with similar markings. Not all of the designs can be considered natural for the breed (or any dog, for a couple of them), but I took a good bit of creative liberty with them, so bah.

Lineart (http://fav.me/d59mduh) was drawn by me, referenced from this: http://community.dog.com/migratedFi.....CC10E2F12A.jpg

Procedure:
Want one of the above designs? Well, there are a few steps to follow and a few different ways to go about it. (by the way: "free" options won't be considered until August 11th to give time for potential buyers to make their wagers).

1. Use money, via paypal, to autobuy the designs for 2$.

Free options:
2. Create a well-written biography (roughly a basic "profile" with a history of two or so paragraphs; not botched together) for the design as a character, and make two, full-colored images with the design as a character (one can be a reference sheet). Don't post the biography in the below comments, please.
3. Make an art-for-design trade with me. I will judge by how much I'd actually want art from you (not in any shallow way, but depending on general skill, variety, craftsmanship, etc.), then I'll decide how many pieces of art (one to four) I'd like from you for the design.
4.Combine two of the options. (e.g.: pay half price & give half art for design, etc.)


Designs
(I'll comment below with design numbers; please place your bids by commenting on the numbers. If someone else has bid before you, just comment on their bid so that they will be notified they were outbid. I will check on the final bid on Aug 11 and proclaim the winner. If you wish to auto-buy, just comment on my number saying so [not on anyone else's bid]. I will inform you if you have been outbid on the other site I'm holding these on: http://fav.me/d59mdkt )

**This custom allows for four different colors (including the base coat) on the fur. If you win/buy this one, note me with details on what type of design you'd like, and we'll discuss the terms.**

Be sure that you have the money to back up an offer. If, within two days of me asking for payment, you have not paid, I will just not give it to you.
Please choose "Personal --> Payment Owed" when paying in Paypal; send payment to paigered8@hotmail.com.

*Please do not change the species' bases nor drastically change the design.
*Genders weren't established, so choose any sex for them
*If bought, the design will be your property, so do with it what you please, even resell it (so long as the profit wouldn't exceed what was paid for it) ; though I'd personally prefer if you'd use it a few times before doing that sort of thing
*Add accessories and/or play around with the markings/colors a bit if you'd like, but please don't veer too far from the original design
*Since the markings can be hard to follow, just place spots/stripes of similar size in about the same areas with about the same amount; you don't have to be exact, as most were pretty random anyways


** By the way: If you're aware you have a fee on your Paypal when money is sent, please compensate that in the payment. I don't want to have gotten $3 and ended up with $2.20 or something like that. |: (though I know that sometimes, Paypal does it for you)
